#mermaid sun and moon

[moriah-dooodles]

I know I’m late, but ever since I stumbled across Mer Sun & Moon in the summer of August 2023, and then got really into MeryMay and the concept of an aquatic Daycare Attendant, I vowed to participate in the AU somehow.

I got so into it, that ever since I was exposed to the Mer Attendant, I have slowly been working on my own personal designs for them along with my own story.

These are not their final designs but I’m getting close! I’m still figuring out how to draw them...

People who have given me a lot of inspiration for their designs and story:

- @/shandzii

- @/oobbbear

- @/senoleaf

- @/bamsara

And so many others because there are so many pretty and cool designs!!!

DON’T JUDGE ME PLEASE! I really like investing myself in Alternate Universes (AUs) because I think they’re fun!

I love mermaid/siren Sun and Moon!

@/bamsara’s Celestial Omens story is really good too and I need to finish reading it!

(TW: Fish gore and internals)

Colorless, human design and some info under the cut.

So, the mer AU.

Some species of mermaids are known to haunt humans when they are hungry, other species don't. Sirens are known to sing (or scream at the sky, if you want to call it that) when a storm is coming.

Sun is inspired by flying fish, and the tongue by a sea butterfly's mouth. (because of the "wing" fins I would consider him a siren, but a lot of mythological creatures are called sirens so idk). He's clingy and an attention hoarder.

Moon is inspired by abyssal fish, lophiiformes (specifically those with antennas) and black dragon fish. He's pretty chill as long as is well fed. He purposely creeps out others with his antennas, and hates Sun's tongue thing.

And Eclipse is inspired by axolotls and leafy sea dragons. They're pretty pacific but won't hesitate in defending themselves when they can't find a way out. Their tail is strong, they can send you flying across the room.

Here is the human design (my selfinsert, Fern) + outfits and a size chart of them long boys.

In this AU Fern is a student at a marine biology university. They conserve and rescue marine life. Some of the rescued especies being the celestial trio, which were assigned under Ferns care with help from another student.

Some images of the three together in one picture that were supposed to be the header of the post but didn't decide which to chose so I'm putting here my 5 favourites. They don't quite fit well 'cuz I drew them separately.

Omg fish!! @a-clown-with-wings

I’ve been exploring this kelp forest and there is this super cool yellow fish! I sure hope they aren’t just distracting me so another fish can sneak up on me—

I wonder what the back of suns head actually looks like I just left it flat.. I included the correct version of moons design with the face being fully white! I just am a crescent moon lover 😞
